Research On The Development Trend Of Electric Outboard Motor

The continuous development and growth of the new battery industry once again supports the continuous rise of electric outboard motors, especially the large, medium and small electric power categories. Electric motors have been gaining increasing acceptance due to reasons such as increasing regional limitations to the application of internal combustion engines on environmentally fragile waterways and our general interest in green technology. Driving this change is technological advancement. These advances increase the competitive advantage of electric motors beyond just reducing their carbon footprint.

The development trend of electric outboard motor:

In addition to ecological considerations, other advantages have also become the main drivers of customer demand: very light, no fuel required, zero emissions, silent mode, low maintenance costs;

Able to drive larger boats at a better rate, can be used for wake surf boats and water skis;

The rapid development of battery technology; the rapid development of battery technology;

The propellers on sailboats generate hydroelectric power;

User adjustable, variable shaft length;

Connect with smartphone application;

greater integration of electronics (including wireless) and other onboard equipment - plotters, autopilots, gps positioning, etc.;

Currently, the share of electric motors in the entire outboard motor market is about 1.3, which is equivalent to the penetration rate of electric vehicles in the automotive industry.

Electric engines still account for a small share of the overall outboard market, around 1.3%. This figure is similar to that of the automobile industry. Currently, new energy electric vehicles account for nearly 2.0% of the world's automobile sales. "Most of this market share is generated by outboards, not inboards," said Dr. "There are many market segments in the yachting industry, but the reality is that, at least at present, electric mobility is not suitable for every market segment. Even if you find an electric inboard boat with an electric power of 100KW, it can slide water, but most of the current market is to replace tiny gasoline outboards with small electric power outboards purchased through retail channels.”

With further technological development and improved performance, consumers continue to prefer products with low greenhouse gas emissions and an overall low ecological impact. The electric drive market share is expected to increase in the coming years.
